In this episode of Just Beings, actor, entrepreneur, and influencer Daniella Monet joins Melanie to discuss her journey to plant-based eating—which began when she was just five years old—and her advocacy for healthy food systems and peaceful living.
This uplifting conversation delves into the importance of balance and self-care, particularly for people who champion social justice causes; how being authentic can be an effective form of activism; and why we need to give ourselves grace for doing the best we can in our advocacy efforts.
Daniella Monet is a mom of two, an actor, an entrepreneur, an influencer, an investor, and a podcaster. A longtime vegan, Daniella uses her platform to advocate for a holistic plant-based lifestyle.
